Happy Saturday friends!
On my very first post back here on the blog, I said it was going to be a busy week and boy has it been a week!
We signed on our new house Thursday morning and by 10:00 that night David was in the ER after taking a fall. This was not on the agenda and it sure has made me question why life has to work this way sometimes.
But I want to find the good in these circumstances, because just focusing on the bad does nothing for you.
And the good part of all of this is that David has perfect vitals, no broken bones and all checked out as it should.
There are numerous other blessings that came along, such as a neighbor lending a hand, a friend who brought me food at the hospital, kids that stayed with me, called me from Tennessee and my 83 year old mom who drove 5 hours yesterday to come stay with me. Today Morgan is going to my new house to start cleaning it for me and my realtor (who is a long time friend) has been checking on us and has made sure to tell me she's praying for us.
I want to acknowledge all of this because sometimes it's hard to say "yes" when people offer to help. At least for me it is. I'm not used to asking for help and it's so hard to feel like others have to go out of their way to help me.
But this time I said yes and it's been such a blessing.
So I just wanted to write this quickly this morning and let you all know that your welcome back comments have been such a blessing. Thank you all for stopping by and I'll be back on Monday "if the Lord's willing and the creek don't rise," as my father-in-law always said 😀
Until Next Time...
Blessings!
I am glad and relieved to hear that your husband didn't break anything when he fell. Happy to hear that you closed on your new home! Have a restful weekend, Debbie.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to know David is alright. Have I mentioned how happy I am that you are back to blogging and so happy for your new move etc. Wishing you a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteGlad you hubs is ok, congrats on the house, YAY on back to blogging - God has you in His hands dear!
ReplyDeleteYep. I know how hard it is to accept help, when you are the one who finds joy in helping others. Good for you, my friend. I am thankful your husband is ok. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteWe as women want to help others. I find it hard to accept help as well. It is nice to have help when we need it though. I am thankful that all is well with your hubby. Warmest Blessings, Teri
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about David's fall, hope he has a quick recovery. You are blessed to have so many people care and step in to help you.
ReplyDeleteWhere would we be without Jesus and His body of believers? We'd be up a creek, for sure. I have a hard time asking for or accepting help as well, unless it's from my sons or mom/stepdad. I've been humbled this fall, though, and I no longer feel this way! I'm so glad David's fall wasn't any worse than what it was. I love that you're here writing all of this out, friend. It's so good for you and it's encouraging for us to read!
ReplyDeleteAllowing others to help can be challenging, but I’ve always believed that just as I enjoy helping others, they too enjoy lending a hand. By letting them help, we both share in the happiness it brings.
ReplyDeleteWhat a time to fall. I'm glad David's fall was not serious and feeling better.
